Zimbabwe Analysts Expresses Fear For Multi-Party Democracy

A Zimbabwe analyst says country is headed for a disaster when it comes to upholding multi-party democracy. This, after the country’s High Court barred 14 members of parliament from the main opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) from contesting again their seats in Saturday’s by-election. Sengezo Tshabangu, who claims to be the CCC’s interim secretary general, told the court that the parliamentarians no longer represented the party because they had been recalled. Tendai Ruben Mbofana, a Zimbabwe social justice advocate and writer, tells VOA’s James Butty, the CCC will need to adopt a new constitution and create proper party structures to prevent what he calls another imposter posing as leader of the party..
